If two planes flew between two cities at speeds of 200 mph and 260 mph respectively.
If the slow plane required one half hours longer, how far apart of the cities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
200*(t+0.5) = 260*t, (t = the time spent by the faster plane)
200t + 100 = 260t,
60t = 100,
t = of an hour = 100 minutes.
The distance = = .
